  1. Chinese strategy since mid-200x on US Weighs Restricting Chinese Investment In Artificial Intelligence (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Chinese strategy since mid-200x: seal new economic opportunities, let the enemy run out of possible moves.

    Rare earth metal mining, and all of new industries orbiting it - nuked mid 200x
    "Big solar" - went throught "slash and burn" acquisition
    Battery tech - again, all worthy companies got sold to Chinese before they had an opportunity to make a dent on Chinese battery monopoly
    "New nuclear" - in Chinese pocket since 2015
    The entire field of bioinformatics eaten by China before it even had a chance to emerge

    This list can go on for few pages

    Yes, it was at around that time when the new wave of politicians whom you can call "ultrapopulists" appeared.

    The only thing different nowadays from say mid-to-late nineties is that the this "ultrapopulism" device was wrestled out of the hands of your usual "mainstream" parties.

  5. At around 2012 - 2014 Google's Russian office developed a very similar technology for clickfraud detection. What has happened later - the best talent involved in developing it was given a relocation offer to Switzerland given that he was just SO INCREDIBLY VALUABLE, but the guy refused. Their HR's became more assertive, threatening to ruin his Arbeitsbuch (in Russia your work record is an official document just like in China). The guy demandes his Arbeitsbuch back and resigned the same day. People say he joined the biggest clickfraud collective at the time just to say f.u.

    Coincidentally, It was right around early 2015 when conversion rates dropped to below 2% on many Eastern European RTB marketplaces.

  20. You know, Huawei makes a lot of overpriced stuff like $600 featurephones (maimang 5), yet people are buying them.

    It always puzzled me why Americans dislike buying cheap shit, yet ready to buy the same shit if it is properly marked up to few hundred bucks.

    I used to sell $1 Chinese sunglasses in my student years on ebay for around $100 to $200 each. The only thing it took me was to order them to be silk-screened with madeup random Italian sounding brand names.
